The API allows you to get the photos a page at a time but not by date range so you could maybe just create a tag for each year (e/g “Skye 2007”, “Skye 2008”, etc). Slickr Flickr can then grab the entire set of photos for the group for each tag which would result in your having a gallery for each year.

So back to your original idea , how would you see it working regarding merging the photos from two different users in a single collection? Do you want it collect equal numbers of photos from each user, or all photos from each user, or just those matching a date range? Up to how many users do you want to be able to specify in the list?

I’ve looked at FlickR groups, but the only problem is that it only lets you add photos to a group 6 at a time, so I can’t dump whole albums into a group very easily. As you say, it also won’t order by date.
